The INFN carries out research activities at two complementary types of facilities: divisions and national laboratories. The four national laboratories, based in Catania, Frascati, Legnaro and Gran Sasso, house large equipment and infrastructures available for use by the national and international scientific community. Each of the 20 divisions and the 6 groups linked to the divisions or laboratories are based at different university physics departments and guarantee close collaboration between the INFN and the academic world. | Go to map of INFN facilities |
